Summary
The White House scrambled to clarify comments from Elon Musk suggesting cuts to Social Security and Medicare, insisting no such plans exist.
Musk, speaking on Fox Business, criticized entitlement spending, sparking viral backlash. Trump’s administration defended Musk and attacked journalist Jake Sherman for misrepresenting his remarks.
Officials cited reports on fraud and waste but claimed benefits would remain intact. Elon Musk has repeatedly criticized Social Security, labeling it a “Ponzi scheme.”
Critics fear Trump could use fraud reduction efforts as a pretext for cuts despite his assurances otherwise.
I need to keep that Samuel L Jackson clip on hand for when I hear retirees that voted for little d saying they didn’t vote for this.
YES YOU DID!
We’re not taking away your Social Security benefit. We’re upgrading it to a huge Trumpcial Muskurity benefit. We’re going to cut loose all the freeloaders and give hard-working Americans a one-time payment of $5,000.
We Gotta pay for those trillions in tax rebates for billionaires and corporations. How else are they going to buy what’s left of America after they purposely crash the economy. Americans will be tapped out at that point but the working class in Greenland and Canada still has assets so we’ll invade them so the oligarchs can steal their working classes wealth too.
I wonder who is manipulating whom here…is Trump really in control of Musk? Or is the dog walking the man here?
I mean… they’re going to do it anyway.
Yeah, they are just slightly concerned about him openly saying it.
Musk = POS Nazi wannabe!
